Popular images of the wolf will show it on the prowl with its piercing gaze focused on the viewer, or else howling at a full moon; in reality, the wolf is a social creature that would much rather keep its distance from humans. This is what makes the third Animal Portraits coin so unique: it’s a close view of a wolf resting in a wintry Ontario landscape, its eyes passively observing its surroundings and its forepaws casually extended outside the framed centre portion to suggest a relaxed state during this rare, unguarded moment. The coin is reverse gold plated, using frosted silver to showcase the grey fur of the wolf. The obverse features the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III by Canadian artist Steven Rosati. The coin has a 38 mm diameter and a weight of just over one ounce of pure silver. NumisCan Coins and Jewelry is committed to providing an exceptional experience every time you shop with us.
